Recipe View Let the cornbread cool slightly in the baking dish before cutting into squares and serving. (Cooling time: 10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use freshly grated cheddar cheese instead of pre-shredded.
If you prefer a spicier cornbread, leave the seeds in one or both of the jalapeño peppers, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter.
Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and tender texture. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a measuring cup, then filling the cup with milk to equal 3/4 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Serve warm with honey butter or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch of deliciousness.
The cornbread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving.

    Easy to follow and delicious! I added a little bit of honey to the batter for extra sweetness.

    I've tried many cornbread recipes, but this one is by far the best. The melted butter in the pan gives it a wonderful crust.

    This recipe is fantastic! The jalapeño adds just the right amount of heat, and the cornbread is so moist and flavorful.
